( Total review count: 7 )

Redemption Sur Lee was influenced by the French winemaking technique called "sur lie" — wine aged with the lees (mostly dead yeast cells). Here, Redemption uses the backset that comes off the still during distillation which they are calling "whiskey lees." These whiskey lees are placed into the barrels before aging and then the barrels are periodically rotated to keep the whiskey interacting with the lees.

Tasting Notes

"The nose offers licorice, rye spice, caraway seeds, and agave syrup along with apples in multiple forms: crisp and waxy-skinned, alongside mushy and baked. The palate has a bitter tinge with burnt toast, orange pith, and grapefruit zest, as well as clover honey and tannic oak. The finish is short, with anise, a floral punch of violets and potpourri, and dulce de leche. "
